The Expendables 2 has been described by some as being The Avengers of action-movies.

We'd like to go a bit further and suggest that somewhere in the depths of space, in a particularly awesome alternate universe, audiences have just watched Sylvester Stallone as Captain America, Arnold Schwarzenegger as Iron Man and Dolph Lundgren as Thor.

Sadly, in the below video, Lundgren doesn't discuss our approach to quantum mechanics, but he does tell us about the time he got naked for The Punisher , got into a row with Jean-Claude Van Damme on the set of Universal Soldier , and got a compliment from James Bond.

  • Karl Urban as Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat 2 Mortal Kombat 2 star Karl Urban really did one of Johnny Cage's iconic moves

And it proves beyond doubt that Dolph is a true gent, with a chucklesome repertoire of movie-set anecdotes that would put his Expendables 2 co-stars to shame.

Watch it below, then tell us what you think!


The Expendables 2
is in cinemas Thursday 16 August.
